I’ve been with this company for almost 4 years. I’m a top performer and CEO has even said I’m “the best tech they’ve ever had” yet I’m still making less than the old lazy/complacent techs just because they’ve been here 25-30 years…
In January they raised our shop rates 30% due to inflation etc. So I asked management if they were planning on giving us employees any cost of living adjustments. CEOs response was that cost of living/inflation is all taken into account during our yearly performance review – which my last one was 50 cents or 2.5% raise. Fucking joke!!
He said that inflation is not his fault and we’re lucky to be employed because they’re thinking about laying people off.
I’ve already been looking for a better job, but I just wish I already had something lined up to call his bluff and say “I’ll make it easy for you, I’m out”
….and it’ll be THEIR loss when I leave.
